5 weeks old!

Our sweet little Landon passed the 5 week mark yesterday. He's already survived his first cold. He sure seems to be a healthy and resilient little boy. He's just as sweet as can be and we've really been enjoying him. Don't get me wrong, he has his feisty moments and there are plenty of times when the only thing that will console him is being held. But that's to be expected, right? We are still feeling so blessed to have such a sweet little spirit in our home. Landon is weighing in at about 10.5 lbs. That means he's gained 2.5 lbs. since he was born. His next doctor visit is at 2 months, so then I'll have the official stats. Here are a bunch of recent pictures. There are so many because it is so hard to choose when they are all cute! As you can see he's filling out nicely.

Most of the time, he likes his swing:) If he's not in the mood, he lets me know it!









I'm keeping busy with housework, paying bills, appointments, running errands, taking care of the babe, and taking care of myself. I'm still feeling pretty sleep deprived. My mom came for a little while and then Brad's mom, Tammy, came for a few days. They were both so helpful and I can't imagine keeping up with everything without their help. Thanks to both of you!

Brad's still keeping busy managing Jamba Juice. So far the store seems to be doing quite well and Brad has learned a lot from the experience already.

We are liking it here in Twin Falls. The people in our ward have been friendly and helpful. We also have been enjoying our house, except for Landon's room. The whole house will be a comfortable temperature most of the time, while his room is either burning hot or freezing cold, depending on the time of day. Does anyone have any ideas in dealing with a poorly insulated room. We bought curtains that are meant to keep out some of the heat. Then for the early morning when it is cold I'm going to get a space heater with a thermostat. Any other ideas?

That's all for now! I'll try to post more regularly since I have such a cute subject for picture taking!

p.s. I chopped my hair off. It's an A-line bob. One of these days I'll take a picture when I'm looking halfway decent and post it:). Oh and I turned 26 this week. I had a nice and relaxed birthday.

Shanna! I need to call you. I think it's getting a little less crazy. Landon is so cute! Is his hair red? or is it just my eyes? That's too bad about his room...the one room you'd want to be pretty normal temperature. I can't believe you cut your hair! Well, I mean, I knew you were going to, but I can't wait to see a picture. I bet it's so cute. Maybe I can get some tips on how to make my hair cute by seeing how you make it. Oh, I miss you. So I'll call you sometime this week. P.S. glad to hear the store's going well, too.
